Located in a sketchy area, mgmt does not provide any guidance, unless you’re out in the field they are prejudice, “mean girl” mentality amongst office staff, no benefits

No recent changes have been made to the scheduling and dispatch role at this company (Over 12 months). We also offer a full range of benefits including employer sponsored health insurance, 401K, and paid time off. / Flex time This review appears to be incorrectly attributed to this business as the name Guardian is very common.
-Resilient company (strong leadership that focuses on both growth and profitability)
-Innovative and visionary
-Team oriented
-Lots of opportunity for linear movement
-Work/Life balance
Cons
-It can be a dirty job (we clean a lot of stuff) so it isn't glamorous but it is essential

Pros
On the surface this company seems like a solid place to work. The blue collar folks at this company are some of the best people I’ve come in to contact with. Hard working, easy to get a long with, give you the shirt off their back, etc.
One member of the office staff came up through technician ranks and should be commended on his professionalism and work ethic; all others should look for positions outside of management because their people and leadership skills are on par with what you’d expect from a high school cheerleading squad. I’d be SHOCKED if this company hasn’t changed ownership or completely folded in the next 24 months.
Cons
**previous 5-star review was engineered by company officer, take with grain of salt.**
Everything else outside of the technicians and supervisors is a joke. This company is run by cowards who will literally delegate the termination of an employee because they don’t have the backbone to do it on their own. They preach “family oriented” and everything other thing you’d like to hear when taking on a new role, but it’s all smoke and mirrors. There are no clear expectations for any role. Any request for support is met with “I don’t have time for that”, they work supervisors and technicians to death as they don’t value long term employees and don’t mind high turnover. During a discussion on company financials, I became concerned that my job was in jeopardy, so I specifically asked if it was and was told “absolutely not, everyone here is safe”. A week later I was let go via phone call.
